| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The following licensee-identified violation of NRC requirements was determined to be of very low safety significance and meets the NRC Enforcement Policy criteria for being dispositioned as a NCV. Radioactive material shipment B-4655, was made from Beaver Valley on May 5, 2016, to ResinSolutions in Erwin, TN. During a self-assessment performed by the FENOC staff on November 3, 2016, it was identified that the scaling factors used to determine the hard-to-detect nuclides listed on the manifest (NRC Form 540) for shipment B-4655 were incorrect. The scaling factors used to manifest the shipment were not for the waste stream shipped. Recalculation of the isotopic values using the correct waste stream scaling factors resulted in different numeric values for multiple radionuclides in the shipment, but did not cause a change in the proper shipping name, packaging, or labeling. 10 CFR 71.5 requires, in part, that radioactive materials be transported with an accurate shipment manifest. Contrary to the above, on May 5, 2016, FENOC transported radioactive materials with a shipment manifest that incorrectly stated that the radiological activity of the package was higher than the actual activity. FENOC documented this issue in CR 2016-13071, and provided a corrected shipment manifest to the recipient of the material. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because FENOC had an issue involving transportation of radioactive material, but it did not involve a radiation limit that was exceeded, a breach of package during transport, a certificate of compliance issue, a low level burial ground nonconformance, or a failure to make notifications or provide emergency information. |
